Things I Forgot Today:
Brush my teeth. (Chewing an entire pack of Trident White
with Micro Crystals is just as effective, right?)
Write Morgan a note to stay after school for Brownies. (I
did finally remember to call the office at 10:30 this morning to tell them
despite the fact that I told Morgan I would call them when I put her on the bus
this morning.)
Tell my sitter Morgan won’t be coming home on bus because of
Brownies. (Which I only remembered after starting this list of things I
forgot. Yes, I started the list this
morning, so that I wouldn’t forget all the things I had forgotten. It makes sense.)
Pick my employee badge up off the kitchen counter before
leaving for work. (I just had to go back and edit that sentence because I had
felt the need to capitalize Employee Badge.
Why?)
None of the above is probably as bad as forgetting to go my
brother’s Halloween party. But, damnit,
that’s why Evite was invented! Stop texting me shit!
To be fair, even when I “remember” I have to do things, I
usually put them off for more exciting things like FAS91 standard costing
walk throughs (so I keep getting paid) or cleaning out my DVR (so I can make
sure that future episodes of Sleepy
Hollow are able to be recorded even though its one of the few shows I
typically watch live) or looking up how much a picture of a dead president is
worth on eBay (so I can stop getting paid for ass numbing FAS91 walk throughs).
To illustrate, I have a list of personal “to do” items
tracked in a notebook I use to manage my work projects. (Yes, I hand write things in a notebook
despite the many technological advances that society has made. If I don’t write it down, it means you never
asked me to do it.) The majority of
these personal items may or may not have been placed on this list at the
beginning of the summer…2012. (Kidding,
it was this summer, but now it doesn’t seem so bad, right?)
Order contacts.
(Quite frankly it was a miracle that I actually finally got my eyes
examined in order to obtain the most recent prescription. I currently still occasionally wear the free
pair that was given to me to try out. In
May.)
Swim lessons. [Timeline
of events: Five Seasons closed prompting
my need to find a new swim instructor (April).
Swim Team started, delaying my need for a new swim instructor
(June). Swim Team ended without finding
a new swim instructor (August).]
Indian Princesses.
(First two events of the season conflicted with plans we already
had. Can I still sign Zoe up? Is there anything even left to do? Worst mom of the year. I asked her to pick between Daisies and
Indian Princesses and then I pull this crap.
Only thing I have going for me is that she has completely forgotten
about it, too.)
Tour de Bay wrap
up. (Hey, this just ended on
Labor Day. I’m actually not that far
behind. Rest assured I will have
everything settled before Memorial Day 2014. Or I will have Emmie do it.)
Instagram photos.
(This was originally for me to upload all my Instragram photos into an
app that will allow me to print them at Walgreens, but really can apply to any
and all photos still housed on my phone.
It goes without saying that I will lose my phone before this actually
happens. So it’s a good thing that I
post to Facebook. Constantly. You’re welcome.)
In related picture news…Order photos. (Girls had a great session with a new
photographer. In August. Turned out cute and I did make small prints
at Walgreens right away. But then I kept
changing my mind on which ones I wanted to choose larger prints to have
framed. Next time I’m going to tell the
photographer to only send me the best three pictures so I don’t have to make
decisions.)
Morgan vision test.
(Guess what? I scheduled this
today! And I’ve only had the note from
the school vision screenings for less than a week! Check, check, check. Okay, that only get’s one “check.” I was just trying to make myself feel
better.)
A note to fellow Kindergarten and 3rd grade
moms. Or at least the ones that are more
organized than me. If you could just at
all times assume I don’t know what the fuck is going on, and send me reminders,
that would be awesome.
